I'd hardly say he's a lock? It's incredibly rare for draft eligible players to make it (and those who do typically are in their third year of jr). I'd be pretty surprised if he makes the team - I'd think actually be quite surprised if he did.

Got to agree with you on that one. The only 1995 born player on the team should be Mackinnon. But I've been on the Mackinnon bandwagon since last year...pissed that he was left off as a 16 year old.

This is my decent attempt at a line up. There seems to be some solid forwards up front in the top 6 but hard to find producers for the bottom 6 so I went with a high energy fourth line with some skill to give it an identity

I could see Griffith making it as a fill in on a top 6 line if theres an injury. Theres enough grinders in the bottom 6 that you might as well bring some risky skill.

My defense I dont know if I would have it balanced like this or go with how it was at the Can Russ series. I wouldnt be surpised if Harrington is paired with Ouellet and matched against all the top lines, while Rielly and Dumba get turned loose. Murphy will play sparingly at ES because hes a turn over waiting to happen but rack up a tonne of minutes and points on the PP. Reinhart is the big defensive minded guy to pair with him

Subban starts

Obviously you are optimistic and believe there'll be an NHL season. That team you picked, I'm afraid doesn't win a medal.

The only advantage the 95's has is that 94's were relatively a weak group for forwards. But guys like Lazar, Drouin, and Rychel would have to beat out 93's like Puempel, St. Croix, Cousins, McNeill, Griffith, Ritchie etc
